Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THANK YOU :-) 15 POINTS A concession-stand manager buys bottles of water and soda to sell at a football game. The manager needs to buy a total of 4,500 drinks and have 25% more water than soda. Let w be the number of bottles of water and let s be the number of bottles of soda. Create a system of equations for w in terms of s that the manager could use to find out how many bottles of water and soda to buy.

(?) = 4500 (?) (?)
W= (?) (?) (?)

Answer 1

The manager needs to buy 3375 water bottles and 1125 sodas and both will equal 4500. hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:
`w+s=4500`

`w=1.25s`

Explanation:

Let w be the number of bottles of water and let s be the number of bottles of soda.

Since , the manager needs to buy a total of 4,500 drinks.

Then , we have
`w+s=4500`

Also, the they have 25% more water than soda.

Since 25%=0.25

Then,
`w=s+0.25s=s(1.25)`

`\Rightarrow\ w=1.25s`

Hence, the system of equations for w in terms of s that the manager could use to find out how many bottles of water and soda to buy.

`w+s=4500`

`w=1.25s`
